Best Direction: Days Of Our Lives, for Ben & Ciara’s wedding.

What an ending! That was a great wedding – Julie’s monologue was beautiful, flashbacks were effective, attendance was great and the ending was surprising – haven’t heard anything about ben leaving the show – in genuine suspense on what happens next!

Frank Beaty was absent so it was just Rick Hearst and Sonja Satra. He also did a reunion of the Rappaport kids from OLTL.

One of teh things I noticed is that Y&R and B&B’s episodes are from quite a few years ago; Diane Jenkin’s murder was way back maybe 7 years ago, so if it aired in 2016 in France it must have been a 3 year gap. I happen to love Sharon Case and Rena Sofer!

I also wish I could see Les Mysteres de l’Amour!

I remember certain characters and…[Read more]

Best Guest Performer: Alison Sweeney (Sami, Days Of Our Lives)

Hurricane Sami shows up just as Eric and Nicole have exchanged vows. She makes a scene (of course) and learns that her daughter Allie is pregnant. She blows up in typical Sami fashion. Then she gets into a cat fight with Nicole, pushing Nicole into her…[Read more]

I wasn’t expecting a cat fight between Sami and Nicole. It was fun! Hurricane Sami delivered today!

I am enjoying Lucas and Bonnie’s scenes. Anything that allows us to see the divine Judi Evans is all right with me!

The twin story makes me sad for Gabi ): She was so certain it was Stefan! Still could be, of course, this is a soap but more…[Read more]

I have watched Plus Belle la Vie and Cut, which is set in Reunion, a French Island off the coast of Madagascar. I think the former is set in Montpellier? Haven’t seen Les Mysteres de l’Amour though. I no longer get that channel I watched them on due to a change in my cable lineup ):

Sami showing up at the end was great, looking forward to tomorrow when I assume she will find out that Allie is pregnant! I hope Sami’s visit will be much longer this time around???

Will we ever get a full wedding ever again on soaps? So many Salemites ought to have been there who weren’t there. How many years in all has the on-again/off-again…[Read more]

With so many people leaving the show I have had the subversive thought that they might go to a half hour format! (; It’s just a fleeting thought (and unlikely!) but I assume it would cut down on costs and keep the show on the air? I am always worried that Days might get cancelled. Unlike the two CBS shows I have never heard that Days is hugely…[Read more]

Today there was an OLTL reunion which featured Erin Torpey, who played Jessica from the age of 8! and Melissa Archer, who played Natalie in the later years of the show. I didn’t remember either of the two male guests on the show- they played Joey and Kevin respectively, I think before Nathan Fillion and Dan Gautier??? (not sure!). It was a nice reunion!

Best Supporting Actor: Wally Kurth (Justin, Days Of Our Lives)

Justin stops the wedding to Kayla since he knows that Steve wants her back. The scene that I really love though is the scene afterwards between Justin and Sonny when he talks about his courtship with Kayla over jazz music.

I think there is much more going on behind the scenes at Days regarding money issues and trying to keep the show on the air – pay cuts and trimming the cast are in play and so there is suddenly a mass exodus of important characters/performers, and even Greg Meng too. I like Hope but she lost her supercouple partner when Peter Reckell left the show…[Read more]

I read awhile back that Galen Gering is leaving and I am wondering if Rafe and Hope will leave together? They have been showing them getting closer recently.

I suspect huge budget cuts is factoring in as to why so many people are leaving all at the same time. Unfortunately for me they are cutting the wrong characters/actors and keeping too many…[Read more]

My half year who I would nominate for Emmys list. I enjoy looking at these at the end of the year to remind me what I was thinking at the half way point! I only have watched 3 soaps in 2020. I placed people where I honestly feel they belong, not necessarily where they would submit…

I have read conflicting reports as to when their episodes run out, the most recent one I saw said October 9th but another one said they won’t run out of new episodes until Halloween… we’ll have to wait and see and hope they never run out due to having produced new ones in September!

It has been interesting, to say the least, to have only one…[Read more]

I have read that Days will not be going back into production of new episodes until September – which means the turnaround for new episodes will be extremely short as they have episodes filmed that will air through the first full week of October. Here’s hoping they do get back to work in early September so there will be interruption of new episodes.

I had a thought today that maybe Gwen is setting up Claire and is the one doing things to make it seem like Claire is still nuts… they are doing a good job of keeping us guessing if it’s a redemption story or a revenge story where Claire is concerned!

If I were Gabi I would have Jake (Stefan) go and talk to her baby’s daddy Will to learn all…[Read more]

I have been reading that Lani and Eli’s wedding is supposed to be the first ever African-American wedding on daytime, but that would mean that the following couples never had weddings but were married: Angie & Jessie on AMC, Frank and Nancy on AMC, Calvin and Starr on EON, Calvin and Didi on EON, Hank and Laurie on The Doctors, Ed and Carla on…[Read more]

I was shocked that Simon gave his golden buzzer to that truly awful W.A.F.F.L.E. crew! What on earth was he thinking? There have been a number of great dance crews on, esp. XMen, this season, and that cheerleading squad, both of which were a million times better than Simon’s pick.

The spoken word guy from last night was the best of the season so…[Read more]
